F/U to PP- Told DH about testing results & sex of baby

I thought I'd post a follow-up since it seems like other people are dealing with the same thing. I let DH know tonight that are final results were back and I didn't need further testing at this point. Because I didn't want to just keep it to myself that we had the option of knowing the sex, I quietly slipped in that it was interesting that they could tell so much from the tests, including the sex. He asked if I found out, and I said yes, that I knew it would give me some closure. I was surprised that he went ahead and asked- I really thought it would be too much for him. I asked if he was sure that he wanted to know, and he said yes, since I already knew. He was quiet when I told him it had been a boy, but he took it way better than I thought. To be honest, I truly do feel closure. Hopefully I'll feel the same way tomorrow, but for now, it's helping me feel like I'm moving forward.

    I felt the same way. My baby was a little boy as well - I knew it from the moment the second line showed up. ((HUGS)) I hope this gives you peace.

    I know the sex of two of our losses.  I prefer knowing. I know what you mean about closure.
